Beta-Alanine Supplementation and Sport Climbing Performance [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Background: Supplementing β-alanine (BA) improves exercise performance in efforts that are highly dependent on anaerobic glycolysis. As it has not yet been established whether it relates to climbing, the current study aimed to investigate the effects of BA on climbing-specific performance.

Beta-alanine uptake is not a marker for brain astroglia in culture [PDF]
Brain Research, 1982 The properties of the beta amino acid transport system were examined in cultivated rat brain astrocytes, using the specific probe, beta-alanine. The uptake of beta-alanine is thought to be glial specific. Beta-alanine was not actively transported and the intracellular accumulation was not altered by coincubation with GABA, alanine, glutamate, or ...

Exercise Training and Beta-Alanine-Induced Muscle Carnosine Loading [PDF]
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2015 Beta-alanine (BA) supplementation has been shown to augment muscle carnosine concentration, thereby promoting high-intensity (HI) exercise performance. Trained muscles of athletes have a higher increase in carnosine concentration after BA supplementation compared to untrained muscles, but it remains to be determined whether this is due to an ...
